I was using Arial at 9 pt. BTW, perhaps this is significant also but I haven't dug into it yet. I only have a very short list of fonts to choose from, about 6 or 8 I guess. Looks like one, or for English a few perhaps, fonts per original language but that's a guess. If I recall User Notes permits a far wider selection but I'll have to double check this this evening.

Whether or not the full font list is displayed is based on your Preferences -> User Files -> Use default fonts in font menu.

My Arial 9 pt looks just fine for the quotation marks. Is it possible you are using a different keyboard from the English one? Or, do you happen to have the Israeli or Greek polytonic keyboard options checked in the Greek & Hebrew Preferences?

I'm using a US keyboard and I'm pretty sure I double check the prefs and keyboard selection but I will double check carefully tonight.

On the keyboard versus prefs issue, I think I asked this question in another thread somewhere but I'll ask again here. Is there any way to programmatically check that the keyboard selection and the prefs setting are compatible ? I know that weird results can occur if they are not in accord so I've wondered if its possible to alert the user to that condition if it arises.

OK Joel, I don't know. I did not have the keyboard confused. I did not have polytonic set and I was using a US Eng keyboard. And of course now, I cannot repro. this.

But the fonts thing is definitely a problem.

If I check the pref you mentioned then both User Tools and User Notes have a very restricted font selection. If I uncheck it then the font selection is very large in User Notes but no bigger than it was in User Tools.
